When Steve Carlson dropped his latest album, Christmas Wish, I didn’t want to review it. I just wanted to snuggle on my couch in front of the faux fireplace and let the new tunes keep me warm. Even the brief snippet I wrote for The Riff felt like too much work. I did it anyway…
After a delay due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, I can proudly announce that Supes Ain’t Always Heroes – Inside the Complex Characters and Twisted Psychology of The Boys, has been released this week. This book is the latest from our dear friend Lynn Zubernis at Fangasm and Matthew Snyder. It’s Lynn’s first…
Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys, premieres September 29th on Amazon prime. Why do we care? What is this show about? Besides this show being a creation of our overlord Eric Kripke, a few of our favorite Supernatural actors and producers have their names tied to this project, including on very familiar face that…
We have a pretty exciting announcement here at The Winchester Family Business. Our dear friend Lynn Zubernis at Fangasm has announced that her latest book, SUPES AIN’T ALWAYS HEROES, is available for pre-order! This is her first book for The Boys and she is sharing the editing duties this time with her colleague Matthew Snyder. The…
Walker is a show about family and family legacy. From the origins of the family in Walker: Independence to the firmly established legends in the modern family on Walker, there’s something to be said about past generations leaving a legacy for their descendants to uphold. The most obvious example of this is the Walker ranch,…
The WalkerFamily held out hope for Walker: Independence until the last minute. We campaigned to #SaveWalkerIndependence on social media. We clung to the optimistic words of its showrunner, Seamus Kevin Fahey, and Executive Producer Jared Padalecki that their show might find a new home for season 2. For exactly one month, since May 9 when the…
As reported earlier on The Winchester Family Business, The CW cancelled The Winchesters after just one season. As explained by Alice Jester’s insights into the ever changing landscape of television programming, the announcement was not unexpected as several events, including the sale of The CW network, converged to sideline the fledgling Supernatural prequel. All hope…
Today we officially got the news, The CW has cancelled The Winchesters. The announcement was not unexpected. The odds of a Winchesters renewal has been a “long-shot” for a while. First, The CW network was sold and it was clear they were going in a different direction. Second, Jensen and Danneel Ackles’ Chaos Machine Productions…
Great News WalkerFamily! Walker has been renewed for season 4! Sitting at #1 in viewership in CW’s line-up, Jared Padalecki and his Walker posse snagged one of the few, coveted scripted program slots on The CW! The season will only be 13 episodes long, which is the same length as the recent new series Walker:…
One of the most prominent themes throughout the Walkerverse is family. In Walker, the main cast is made up of members of three generations of the Walker family. They are surrounded by other families as well, such as the Davidsons’, the James’ and the Perezes. In Walker: Independence, the biological families of the characters take…
You can’t fall in love with someone’s music unless you know about it. On Sunday, January 8th, I attended a StageIt performance by Steve Carlson. These are fairly regularly scheduled events lasting about 30 minutes and at a cost of “pay-what-you-can.” Steve, as you might recall from my last review, is Jensen Ackles’ musical partner in…
Introduction When Philemon Chambers first mentioned that Augustus was once a Buffalo Soldier in an interview, I was intrigued. When we learned in “Random Acts” (1.06) of Walker: Independence that Augustus’ time in the Buffalo Soldiers was what led to him and Calian meeting and becoming friends, I was hooked and needed to learn more….
